There’s still time to RSVP (www.surveymonkey.com/s/HJNX95Z) for either
in-person or livestream participation in the third NISO Altmetrics
Project meeting on Thursday, January 23, 2014 in Philadelphia, PA at
The Hub Conference Center, conveniently scheduled just before the 2014
ALA Mid-Winter Conference. For planning purposes, registration for
this event will close on Friday, January 17, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. (ET).

There’s space for a couple additional lightning talks. Sign up for one
in the RSVP form and share what your organization is doing!

The meeting is FREE for all attendees.

ABOUT THE MEETING

This is the last open meeting for Phase 1 of the NISO project to
explore, identify, and advance standards and/or best practices related
to the development and adoption of new assessment metrics (altmetrics)
in the community. Such metrics can include usage-based metrics, social
media references, and network behavioral analysis. In addition, the
project is exploring potential assessment criteria for non-traditional
research outputs, such as data sets, visualizations, software, and
other applications.

The agenda of the one-day January 23 meeting will include a short
opening keynote on the topic of assessment, lightning talks on related
projects, brainstorming for identification of topics for discussion,
and prioritizing of proposed work items.

FREE LIVESTREAM AVAILABLE

For those interested in this work, but unable to attend in-person,
NISO will be live streaming this event. Credentials for login will be
provided closer to the event date; please make sure to designate your
attendance as “virtual” in the RSVP form so that we may be sure to
communicate that information to you.
